Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: RM 2Z Diode

Part Overview

The RM 2Z, manufactured by Sanken Electric USA Inc., is an axial, general-purpose rectifier diode rated at 200 V, 1.2 A, and utilizes standard recovery technology. Its product status is obsolete, requiring the identification of compatible substitute parts to support ongoing manufacturing, servicing, and inventory continuity within the diodes, rectifiers category. Substitute selection must be strictly based on matching the electrical and mechanical parameters provided.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined by strict alignment of the following key parameters: maximum DC reverse voltage, average rectified current, forward voltage at operating current, speed characteristic, reverse leakage current, mounting type, axial package format, operating temperature range, and compliance status. Only parts matching or exceeding these requirements can be considered direct substitutes in the diodes, rectifiers category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RM 2Z diode is currently obsolete. Substitute parts 1N5393-E3/73 (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) and 1N5393G B0G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) are both active, RoHS compliant, and carry an MSL of 1 (Unlimited). They satisfy the required electrical performance, mounting format, and compliance criteria for direct replacement within the diodes, rectifiers category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the most critical substitution criteria for RM 2Z?
A1: Maximum DC reverse voltage, average rectified current, forward voltage at rated current, speed class, reverse leakage, mounting type, package/case, operating temperature range, and compliance status.

Q2: Are different axial package types (DO-41, DO-15) compatible for substitution?
A2: Both DO-204AL (DO-41) and DO-204AC (DO-15) are axial, through-hole formats, matching the original mounting requirement for RM 2Z.

Q3: Is RoHS compliance maintained when substituting RM 2Z?
A3: Both substitute part numbers are RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q4: Does substitution impact operating temperature range?
A4: Both substitutes support junction temperatures equal to or wider than RM 2Z, ensuring compatibility.

Q5: How is electrical compatibility assured between RM 2Z and substitutes?
A5: Substitute parts match or exceed the maximum voltage and current ratings, and operate as standard recovery diodes suitable for equivalent applications within the diodes, rectifiers category.
